(2) and last would have been nice also without the T/S. Just doesn't work with the eye. Things that are OOF should be in focus due to similar focal plane

(1) and (3) are very nice

Gotta agree. Great overall. However, the eye just can't deal with something OOF that should be in focus. The oddity of the OOF area becomes the thing that the viewer will dwell on, rather than the model.

These comments sum up my feelings as well. Gorgeous model, I like the compositions a lot, but the OOF areas on the 2nd and the last image just don't work.
